Sadaf.com sells everything for the Iranian kitchen online. But by the time it gets here from the US, it's just not worth it.

Siah dooneh is black seeds in English. But Tokhm sharbati is something you will only find in Iran. Like barberries and gojeh Sabz!;)

I did one of those tests. I tested as highly ( highest of the highs,:) intolerant to every fruit, vegetable, pulse, dairy product that I enjoy eating. The only thing I can really eat are a handful of fruits, some leafy greens and meat(that I hate!) 10 months on, I am yet to complete a one month diet without them:( All the best to you.

Cole Haan does big sizes and also has a big width - their Nike Air range is very comfy too. Mostly my high heels are from their range now. The selection in the US is however much better than here - and, of course, cheaper! Is this a store in the malls?

New Look do a wide fit for some of their shoes and they go up to a UK size 8. Lol in fact the size 8s are always the ones left on the shelf when it comes to the cute designs! Not quite Jimmy Choo, but a big selection of shoes, very reasonable prices, comfortable and you don't feel bad throwing them out when they get tatty! The only problem with shoes from the not so expensive stores, is that they are a torture to walk in.

Oh fab! I tried it when I was in Canada, my neighbours were German and had brought it with them from there. It wasn't available in Canada. I was so sure they were unavailable here as I had never seen them, otherwise I would have bought one too! Glad I helped ;)

Sometimes when DS is sleepy in the mornings and I try to put his shirt on, I die of pain. The pain I feel in my shoulders from holding my arms up while putting it on and buttoning it up, kills me, as of I have bee digging all day. My lower back is the worst. I can't stand or sit too long without feeling unbearable pain:((

I don't know why, I always think agency maids will take their sweet time ironing, just to make more! I might be wrong.

In Bahrain there were people with tiny shops, who did ironing for peanuts. They used a regular iron and charged by piece. Seen my maid left the one thing I haven't been able to stay on top of, is ironing. This will be a mixture of everything including children's clothing. Does this service exist in dubai? Thanks
